<h2>Answer:</h2>

Cell membrane is the outer layer of cell. in plants there is a cell wall  above cell membranes but in animal cells there is only a cell membrane.

It has a complex structure relating to it function.

<h3><u>Structure:</u></h3>
  • It is a lipid bilayer. lipids are phospholipids.
  • Heads of phospholipids are in outer side while tails are in inner portion of bilayer forming hydrophobic inside the bilayer and hydrophilic outer layer/sides of membrane.
  • There are also embedded proteins in lipid bilayer forming mosaic like shape.
  • There is small amount of cholesterol attached to membrane.
  • There are also specific glycoproteins projecting out side the cell.

<h3><u>Function:</u></h3>
  • Outer covering of cell.
  • Control for intercellular transport.
  • Protection.
  • Surface receptors for the recognition.
  • Provides flexibility.

The structure is a phospholipid bilayer. There are many phospholipids which contain a water loving phosphate end and a water hating lipid (fatty) end. The phosphate ends all point out words while the fatty ends are inside.

The purpose is protection of the cell as well as allowing certain molecules to enter and exit the cell

What is an observation
vagabundo [1.1K]
Hello!

Could be either:

<span>The action or process of observing something or someone carefully or in order to gain information.
</span>
Or 

<span>A remark, statement, or comment based on something one has seen, heard, or noticed.
</span>
And in Science:

 <span>An 'observation' in the scientific sense, is when you make a measurement or evaluation of some sort. You would usually make a note of how something has changed sine the previous ovbservation. Maybe the temperature has changed: gone up one degree; or a crystal has grown: maybe it is now .1 centimeters longer. 

"Observations" usually implies that you are watching some process, and either measuring or noting the change that has taken place. usually you will also want to note the time of the observation, so that you can have an idea of how quickly (or slowly) the changes are occurring.
</span>

Hope this All Helps (Hope it did)! Have A Wonderful Day! :)

What are some of the problems associated with aquaculture?
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Pollution: The farming of marine fish, crustaceans and even bivalves produces waste in the form of fecal matter and unused feed. These largely nitrogen-based wastes can cause oxygen depletion in coastal environments and a net loss of marine productivity in certain coastal areas.
